Bele Chere weekend is upon us. That means for the next three days, downtown Asheville will be the scene of the South's largest free outdoor festival. One of the best things about Bele Chere is that it has something for everyone. Loads of crafters come from all over, and vendors supply all their best food. Raft rides, helicopter rides, and of course, music, music, music! There's probably a dozen stages with various types of music offered. Alcohol is served except on Sunday, which is Family Day. Shuttles are best for getting in and out, I've found. The people I run into are probably the best thing about Bele Chere, and the vendors with their handmade silver jewelry and clothes are usually where most my money goes. I'm sitting it out this year, but this is Skyler's 16th Bele Chere in a row. Does your town have a big event? Please tell me about it.

Yes, and I blogged about it briefly this morning. Pioneer Day is today also called "Days of '47" Parades galore, each town usually has their own celebration with the booths (arts, crafts, food, games), and small carnival rides. We have a large amusement park near here, so they don't do a lot of that at these celebrations - people usually just go to Lagoon if they want to ride rides like that. Rodeos, outdoor concerts, fireworks.
Your celebration sounds really fun too, and the water looks beautiful! :-)
